Of course, in this life, there is no Core I7, and there is not even a Core series.

Speaking of which, among the information Su Yang found on the Internet, some news made him feel helpless.

In this world, there is no giant lithography machine like ASML, and Nikon on the island country is relatively high, occupying more than 50% of the lithography machine market.

In addition, the United States and other developed countries can also produce lithography machines, but they are basically based on deep ultraviolet lithography machines.

The wavelength is 193nm, and after being reduced several times, it is possible to make 22nm chips, but this is the limit of this lithography machine.

Of course, 22nm is only the ideal limit of 'deep ultraviolet light', and the current lithography machine technology is still stuck at 45nm.

It would take years to reach this limit.

Once you have reached the limit, if you want to go further, you have to make 'light source improvements'.

ASML's EUV lithography machine uses 'extreme ultraviolet light', with a wavelength of 13.5nm, which is shorter and deeper, which is enough to manufacture chips with 5nm process.

It is worth mentioning that the most important thing in chip production is actually the chip design, which is similar to the game code.

This kind of technology is generally in the hands of semiconductor giants such as Inter and Samsung, and some other chip manufacturers also have it.

Secondly, there are lithography machines and other equipment, in addition to lithography machines, there are etching machines, ion implanters, oxidation furnaces, polishing machines and so on at least sixteen kinds of equipment.

Among them, the lithography machine is the core.

There are many steps from the design to the manufacture of the chip, and some companies without the ability have no equipment, so they can only find the FAB factory - a manufacturer responsible for the production of chips, that is, foundry wafers.

TSMC is the most, it is a semiconductor company from Wanwan.

Samsung also receives OEM services, while the inter in this world only focuses on the production of its own microprocessors, and there are very few foundries.

The meaning of the existence of wafer foundries is to be a special middleman, neither producing upstream equipment nor participating in downstream construction, but only providing parts - chips.

Some companies that cannot build their own chip assembly lines can only let wafer foundries carry out foundry if they want to produce mobile phones, computers and other products.

Of course, the premise is that there must be advanced chip design technology. Otherwise, the chips that people make foundry can't look at at at all, so it's better to buy chips from other semiconductor manufacturers directly.

In fact, most of the world's mobile phone and computer manufacturers do this.

In fact, some time ago, at the beginning, because Yuanyang Group did not have any basis for producing chips, even if it had the patented technology of chips and the equipment was incomplete, it could not be made.

At that time, Su Yang planned to wait for the mobile phone project to be put on the agenda, and find companies like TSMC or SMIC to carry out chip foundry.

If there is no high-end lithography machine, there is no doubt that finding a FAB factory to OEM chips is a way to maximize benefits.

After all, if you want to rely on Yuanyang to research the lithography machine by yourself, I don't know if you will be able to wait until the Year of the Monkey to produce the A6 chip of the iPhone.

Even if Huaxia has been engaged in it for decades, begging his father to worship his grandmother, he has used various means from abroad to collect some lithography machines that have been eliminated by others, and he can only produce some 60nm chips.

There is still a long way to go from 45nm, let alone the 32nm A6 chip.

Huaxia gathered the power of one country, and it took decades to make it like this, even if Su Yang had a system, he didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to walk in front of the country of more than a billion people.

Therefore, at that time, finding a wafer foundry foundry is the best solution.

However, the system did not disappoint him, and at the last moment, he was able to draw a black-tech lithography machine.

EUV lithography machine!

It's just a wonderful girl who has stripped naked, tsk......

What is the taste, Su Yang can't say.

The introduction of the system states that a NXE3400B model EUV lithography machine can produce 24,000 wafers a month, and the size should be 12 inches.

After splitting, a 12-inch wafer can obtain 400 chips.

This means that the annual output of an EUV lithography machine is 115 million, and at least 110 million can be removed from some damage.

The annual output of 110 million CPUs is enough to equip hundreds of millions of mobile phones.

Although the system did not mention whether these segmented chips were computer or mobile devices, Su Yang felt that the rate was probably computer.

However, this is nothing, it is nothing more than the chip of the mobile device, which will be made into a baseband chip by adding radio frequency and other technologies, and the design is slightly more complicated.

With the complete technical solution of the A6 chip, these are not difficult tasks.

In addition, the lithography machine can not only produce CPUs, but also have the technology, and can also produce DRAM chips, NAND chips and some solid-state drives.

DRAM chips, which are commonly referred to as memory modules.

The NAND chip, which is actually a type of flash chip, refers to flash memory - something like a USB flash drive.

As for the solid-state drive, you should know this, and on the computer it is generally a disk other than the C disk, such as the D disk and the E disk.

Before the phone came out, Su Yang could produce some other chips to sell.

The premise is to have technology.

In the iPhone 5, because the mobile phones all use flash memory, there is flash memory chip technology.

Perhaps, you can make a fuss about this?

……

Now that the lithography machine is in hand, Su Yang is in a good mood.

He remembered that he had read a report before traveling in his previous life, saying that Huaxia had wasted great effort to import a lithography machine from the Netherlands.

The price is 120 million US dollars, which is about 800 million RMB.

At that time, I didn't know what the lithography machine was, but according to him, it was probably ASML's EUV lithography machine, right?

"Made, in the past, the United States and Western countries monopolized lithography machines for decades, and almost all Huaxia chips were imported. ”

"But this life...... When I have thoroughly understood the technology of the lithography machine, I will build a few EUVs, and I will also blockade the technology and equipment, so that they can taste the taste of being suppressed. ”

Su Yang muttered, the excitement in his eyes flashing back and forth.

Semiconductor overlord, I Su someone wants it!

After a moment, he frowned again.

"By the way, am I too inflated?"

I haven't even learned to walk, so I want to run.

It's probably really inflated, and it's so inflated that the system doesn't issue tasks anymore.

Pity.

But no matter what, now the finished product of the lithography machine is in the inventory of the system, and the technical information is also there, as long as the materials are also complete and the technology is thorough, it should not be difficult to produce.

Even if Yuanyang does not have the strength to produce, it can spend money to buy factories and then produce them.

"No, wait!"

Su Yang thought of something, his eyes moved, and he looked at the introduction of the item again.

[Note 1: After taking out the NXE3400B, you can purchase all the technical information of the lithography machine, including the patented technology, in the mall.] 】

"MMP, I still have to buy it, why don't you just send it?"

"Isn't it expensive? ”

Glancing at the system points, looking at the words zero, Su Yang felt a little painful.

Now that I don't have any points, it's so uncomfortable.

It's like a graceful girl who has stripped naked, standing in front of her and scratching her head, she can only look at it, but she can't touch it.

It's so angry.

The more I think about it, the more I want to hit someone.
